Dune: Part One Ratings & Reviews
- CubaneDecember 25, 2025It's in the truly rare breed of films that one respects even more after reading the source material. It pulls no punches, and offers minimal exposition. The viewer is expected to have read the study guide and be prepared for the exam. Those who prepared adequately will be rewarded with a spectacle without equal... The spice must flow, after all.
- TanalienNovember 2, 2024The epic scope of director Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is so magnificent that 1962’s Lawrence of Arabia and 1977’s Star Wars have company. With its immense vistas of curving sand dunes, two-hundred-miles per hour winds ripping through desert plains, and glowing spice hidden in plain-sight, Dune brings Frank Herbert’s world off the page and into our grasp through the eyes of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet).
- Donald WinzerMarch 30, 2025Almost perfect movie. Great to fall asleep to, even better to watch.
- darsanNovember 16, 2025the first time i watched this in the cinema the 15 year old version of me didn't appreciate this masterpiece so i had to lock in this time to prepare for dune: messiah next yr and i absolutely loved it, the story, the visuals and hans zimmer's score is absolutely phenomenal.
- COCOMarch 24, 2025The commitment here to adapting exactly half a book is staggering.
- Wasiur RahmanOctober 8, 2025Sense of scale in the CGI and the sound of the mega structures sends chills.

- jackmeatAugust 12, 2025My quick rating - 8.0/10. Finally. I will spare any comparison to the books since that typically makes the movies look poor and I read them when I was like 12 years old, so I don't remember all that much of them in the first place. I say finally, though, because this version of Dune seems to have brought the elements needed for a solid adaptation together. Visually, this flick is absolutely spot on. When the vast majority of your locations need to be a giant desert, it makes it difficult to spruce them up. Yet the way this looks does capture the vast nothingness of the desert which when needed and there is something that makes that insignificant small thing appear huge. And yes, even if you are not a fan, I am sure you are aware that there are giant worms under the ground on this planet, so I won't keep alluding to them. They look astonishingly good, and the attention to detail for their movements and the like was excellent (hopefully you saw this in the theater or have a quality 4K setup at home.) The story itself was a bit difficult to follow right from the onset, which I think could've helped the audience out a bit with a little backstory of the hierarchy of the characters. The main gist is that spice is basically gold, and whoever controls the spice market is at the top of the food chain. So, in order to move up that ladder, certain parts of this story must head to one of the planets where there is this commodity and basically overtake it. There is more to it than that. I am giving a quick idea. In what is clearly just the beginning of the story (it says so at the start, no spoiler), the focus here was a bit more on the characters, which is why I think they skimped a bit since the entire world-building portion is yet to come. Still, the ones that we have been introduced to are portrayed well and give performances that do draw you into what the plight of each truly is. I certainly expect to see Timothée Chalamet around Oscar time as the lead in this. There always have to be some ulterior motives to people, and this flick is no exception. If you are aware, there was a 1984 Dune by David Lynch made that was actually quite good as well, and if you are familiar with his work, it is a bit more "creative" than this one. Lack of a better word for anything Lynch does. And I felt like this version was more of a remake of that film than it was a reimagining of the books themselves. But as I said, I wouldn't be the best judge on the book portion. Overall, this is an exceptional film and one that should be seen by nearly all. There is nothing in here that needs to keep viewers away. Even the action scenes that are so well choreographed don't venture into violence much.

- pat mackSeptember 21, 2025This is actually a beautiful piece of movie magic. I love the tone and story.
- jdwilsh11September 16, 2025Visually stunning, incredible acting. The only reason I can't give this 5 stars is because I had to stop it about 45 mins in and do some homework to work out what was going on. After I knew a bit of the background, I was glued to it though.
- Mister ArnAugust 5, 2025Dune is a highly complex story, and if you have read the book, you can fill in all the missing backstories. I'm afraid that makes this a much more enjoyable film for fans, while first-timers might have difficulty following the story. I'm a fan of Dune and loved it.
- Amateur WizardAugust 30, 2025Anything other than 5 stars is a failing on your part
- Tommy1582August 30, 2025Really enjoyed this movie. One of the best sci-fi releases in recent years. Loved the sound design and visuals. A well recieved remake. Never got into the original but this was great. Leaves you wanting Part 2.
